What is a fire rated led downlight?
When implementing recessed lighting into a ceiling, the fire rating of the ceiling reduces. This is because to install downlights a hole must be cut into the ceiling, allowing for easier spread of fire if one occurs. With our fire rated downlights you can be certain that your ceilings fire rating is maintained, because our fire rated downlights seal off the cut out hole, slowing the spread of fire and buying you precious time in the case of a fire.

Are all IP65 downlights fire rated?
While we stock both IP65 rated and fire rated downlights, it is important that the two are not confused. Not all IP65 rated downlights are fire rated, this is because the IP rating is used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of lighting against foreign elements such as dirt, dust and water. IP65 downlights are rated as dust tight and water resistant, where as the fire rating of a downlight refers to its ability to slow the spread of fire. Some downlights are both IP65 rated and fireproof. We understand that it is hard to know the difference when selecting lighting which is why we make sure all our products are clearly labelled on the website.
Can you cover led downlights with insulation?
You cannot directly cover non fire rated downlights with insulation, this is why we recommend covering your downlights in a fire protected cover or fire hood. A fire hood is used as a way to isolate the downlight, further helping to prevent the spread of fire and from any other foreign element, such as insulation.
